An uncut, raw and gripping story of one woman’s life struggle with the extreme highs and lows of Bipolar I Disorder. The denial of her diagnosis and the eventual acceptance of her medication and disease. She takes us from her innocence as a child to her adult criminal lifestyle, which led to a subsequent 70 month federal prison sentence for Securities Fraud. A tale so unbelievable and elements so disturbing, you would swear you were reading fiction.

So it’s not fiction? What is it?

Memoir.

Is there anything out there that’s similar?

If you like The Veil, you will love my book.

We haven’t read that one yet. Tell us about your character – you – in the book.

Do we get to read about your time in prison?

I am hoping to write a book of my journal entries from prison and discuss what it feels like to lose your sight, which I did not discuss in Forever Different.

Do you have a website where we can keep up with your work?
